Salt Peanuts

Keep in mind that it was 400,000JPY for one speaker, not for a pair (of course, still no match for GF-1 in price). They also had dedicated stands made from Padauk (and finished with walnut to match the speakers) that sold for 200,000JPY for a pair.

Same here and more often than not, unless I'm listening to it for the first time, I don't listen to an entire album.

Now that I'm looking at it, that did come out funny. Anyways, my fiancee's making me Penne ala vodka and Boston Cream Pie (from scratch).

Thanks guys! I plan on having a relaxing day listening to music and eating some of my favorite dishes, courtesy of my fianc

I use DMT Diafolds. I used to have DMT's benchstones, but I wasn't using them often enough to justify keeping them (read - expensive) so I sold them. One thing with DMT sharpeners are that they do take off metal quicker than more traditional stones/sharpeners. Coarse/Extra-coarse works well when I've had to thin the edge on some knives.

They took the K601 coupon codes off - I suspect they must've sold a decent number of K601's at $90 each.

It's got a lot of horns for a Unicorn. It looks great, Al and I definitely like the way your setup looks now better with two racks. Incidentally, the first pic looks as though there are tubes sticking out from front of the unit.

You may be thinking of NSX-10000 speakers. They were created to commemorate the 100th year for Yamaha as a business. YAMAHA NSX-10000

Hopefully, the Defender of the Universe isn't posting because he's in an audio nirvana with the Unicorn.

Did some cleaning around the house. Then started ripping some old scratched up CDs that I've been neglecting, only to find out that my iMac's drive can't handle reading/ripping these scratched up CDs. I don't know if it's my particular drive or common thing among iMacs, but my MacBook is reading/ripping the same CDs just fine.

x2 and just in time before it starts getting cold around here in earnest.

Leftover from the Turkey Day.

Drove couple of hours to my fiance's folks' place for the day. Just got back and I'm still full.

Happy Birthday!

Bit late but hope everyone's having/had a great turkey day!

Cool. I'm sure if you wait another week, Mike will be selling his Blue Hawaii.

Nice! What amp are you going for get for them?

All of them - bottom of the blade where it's not beveled and sharpened hit the finger before the actual edge. The big problem I've had with linerlocks is that they don't always properly engage.

Really? Maybe it's my usage pattern - I've had linerlock on knives from Benchmade, Spyderco, and another maker that I can't remember right now fail on me.

For my money, I'd always take a plain edge - it's more versatile and useful in my experience. Combo edge on a blade that long just makes it hard to use either edge effectively. EDIT - One more thing - I will always trust a backlock over a linerlock. I've yet to have a backlock fail on me under regular use.

My EDC is Spyderco Calypso Jr. I'm glad that they've revived the lineup (especially since I really should replace my Calypso Jr soon), but I'm not happy that they're more expensive now.

Isn't the seller the one that kept sending Reks malfunctioning power amps?

Gerber E-Z-Out is a very good pocket knife, especially considering the price. IME, hole opener is far more comfortable than a stud-opener. I'm a big fan of Spyderco knives, but I don't think they have any knife at your price point.
